The Komodo Brothers are supporting antagonists in the Crash Bandicoot series.

They are a pair of scimitar-wielding anthropomorphic Komodo Dragons who first appeared in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The burlier of the two is Komodo Moe, who is very strong but not too bright. While the skinnier one is Komodo Joe, who lacks in physical strength but is very cunning. They are creations of Dr. Nitrus Brio.

They were both voiced by Fred Tatasciore in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, who also voices Dingodile and Koala Kong.

Trivia

• The Komodo brothers, along with Tiny Tiger were originally planned to be in the first Crash Bandicoot game, but they were both removed. So, they were introduced as N. Brio's henchmen in the second game. They can still be seen in the 1996 early cutscenes that were meant for the first game. A scrapped theme for Komodo Joe can be found on Youtube. In the first game was meant to have separate fights for Joe and Moe, with their own themes.
• The Komodo Brothers were initially considered to be included in Crash Nitro Kart, along with N. Brio, Papu Papu, Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, Pinstripe Potoroo, Rilla Roo, and Nina Cortex.
• Komodo dragons are native to the Indonesian island of Komodo rather than Australia.
• The Komodo brothers were supposed to appear and have a neutral role in Crash Twinsanity during the gameplay on the middle island in the Wumpa Islands. Both brothers and the island were removed from the game due to time restraints and limitations from the publisher.
